Eva Green has said it was her dream to work with director Tim Burton on his new film Dark Shadows.

The former Bond girl appears with Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer and Chloe Moretz in the director's film adaptation of the 60s supernatural series.

Eva revealed at the premiere of her new film Perfect Sense: "We finished shooting last Friday. It was like a dream - I always wanted to work with Tim Burton."

She added: "The script is very funny and dark."

In Perfect Sense Eva plays a scientist who begins a love affair with a chef, played by Ewan McGregor, at the same time as the world is swept by an epidemic of a terrible disease which causes the loss of the senses one at a time.

Eva said: "It could sound very depressing as a storyline but it's actually very uplifting. It's like a metaphor for falling love. When we fall in love we lose our senses. So I found it quite optimistic really."
